advice on 1st dates please ladies,

im a 23 year old fella and not being big headed but i know im pretty good lookin. If ive known a girl even a few hours i cant talk all day long, make her laugh and be myself. But the initial approaching in a bar i feel really awkward. See im 6ft 4'' and i get the impression girls may be a little intimidatted buy my height, could this be the case? And what are good opening lines to a gorgeous stranger when your out?
I was with this lass for 5 years and never chatted another woman up in that time, she fucked off with some other dick so im back in the game as they say. Allthough a little bit of a bumbler at first as im so out of practice.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

 

be calm. women are just as uncomfortable as you are. bars aren't good places, though, unless it's in a pool league or some other sort of repeating socializing. don't stand TOO close, being so tall can cause a crick in the neck and a sense of being bullied or overpowered and unsafe.

 

Yeah, I usually don't like guys who approach women in bars with same old lines they've used million times before...My advice is to be original and don't underestimate intelligence of the girl you're approaching...
Good luck!..

 

I don't think height would be too intimidating... I love tall guys so if a tall guy comes up to me I feel so special and cool and excited... of course it's special for a tall guy to notice me b/c I'm 5'3 so he has to be looking down pretty far

 

Good luck to you. I'd hate to be in your shoes. I disagree with KC that women are as uncomfortable. I would however, agree if they were the ones having to buy the drinks and start the ball rolling.
Now if it's a mutual date arrangement and both are out togther for the first time, I would agree with KC. People are people.

 

pfft. i always had to be the one to ask. you got lucky, your sister asked for you. i must be TERRIFYING.

 

Just stating my point even moreso. I said I'd hate to be in his shoes. Asking a girl on a date is awfully hard for me.
I didnt tell her to ask though. I'm not that bad.

 

lol. i know it.

 

thanks for the res[ponse people. asked this girl out the other week and all went well, untill she wouldnt shut up about britney fookin spears lol.

 

ew. back to the front!

 

I find the best line that works is "can I get you a drink?" Sorry the girl was so obsessed with Britney

 

oh wow, so what happened at the end?...

 

I heard "hello" or "hi" works wonders...

The whole "line" thing is very gimmicky to me and would find it a bit nauseating... But that's just me... If you find someone that appeals to you, just go up and say hello or start a conversation about something or tell a joke, but lines are like acting, just be yourself and talk and say what you normally would to a human... But this is just me, other people are different...

 

This is very true. There's a reason why a lot of women go to singles bars in groups- moral support.

I doubt being tall is a big, because a lot of women really like tall men. Me, I'm 5'1, so I'm pretty much used to everyone is towering over me.

I agree with this, too. Some women like them, but most women just laugh and walk away at pick-up lines.

 

you're the man, change the topic. she's was probably rambling out of nervousness OR, she's as deep as a dry puddle. dating is nice because it helps you weed out who bores you to death.

 

Ha the britney freak. This was a weird date. it was meant to be a casual drink in the pub. she turned up lookin like an LA superstar, all pouting and everything. I was cringin!
I thought id give it a go and got a few drinks in. But britney spears and make up was the only thing she could talk about.
I noticed a couple of blokes that she knew from somwere was well up for givin me a kicking. then her brother comes marching over the car park carrying a can of petrol. I thought i was gettin torched so i made my excuses and went.
